My Project

I love that my students come to class each day bringing their full selves—curiosity, creativity, and resilience. They deserve a space that reflects how much they matter. My goal is to create a classroom that feels safe, welcoming, and comfortable—like a second home.

Creating a peaceful, welcoming classroom environment helps students feel safe, focused, and ready to learn.

The LED lamp stands and humidifier will support this by softening harsh lighting and improving air quality, key for maintaining a calm space during stressful days. A soft classroom rug will give students a comfortable spot to gather for group activities or relax during independent work. The mini whiteboards, magnets, expo markers, and pencils will promote active learning and collaboration, giving students the tools to fully engage with lessons and each other.

Together, these resources will create a classroom that is more inviting, practical, and student-focused, helping my students feel supported, engaged, and prepared to succeed.
